Heroine Worship by Sarah Kuhn
3.0
Heroine Worship is the follow-up to Kuhn's Heroine Complex, which I was admittedly underwhelmed by. However, Heroine Worship worked for me in a way that the first book did not. For me, the character of Aveda Jupiter / Annie Chang was much more interested simply because she wasn't a "likeable" character in the first book. I really liked how complex Aveda / Annie was, what with her insecurities and take-charge attitude. I'm a sucker for a flawed character, and Aveda was exactly that. Readers of the first book will recall Aveda's diva-like behaviour, which hasn't completely disappeared, but we get to delve into exactly why Aveda is the way she is.
In addition to some superb character-development we also have the zany quirkiness that appealed in book one. There's a puppy demon on the loose and it's up to Aveda and her co-heroine Evie to shut it down, with the lovely assistance of their team / family. Humour and pop culture references abound and will be sure to appeal fans of the superhero genre.
Heroine Worship was a fun addition to the world that Kuhn has created. It was light and fluffy in it's own way, but with an unexpected depth when you take a look on the cultural commentary that is interspersed throughout the novel.
